Connective Tissue Contraction

Connective Tissue Contraction is a biological process in wound healing whereby fibroblast-mediated remodeling and compaction of extracellular matrix components within granulation tissue generate progressive reduction in wound area, distinguishing it from other forms of tissue closure by its reliance on cellular-driven matrix reorganization.
